WEBVTT - 04/20/21 DPS Hour 2 Rebecca Lowe 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.559 Sports Radio Our two. On this Tuesday, Dan and the 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:10.440 Dane's Dan Patrick Show come in, stay a while. Spent 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.440 majority of the first hour fawning all over Steph Curry, 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:17.360 and rightfully so. Drop forty nine last night as the 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.919 Warriors beat the seventy six ers. Five three pointers, five 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.960 three pointers, eight three pointers, ten three pointers, eleven three pointers, 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:30.600 four three pointers, eleven three pointers, ten three pointers. That's 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.280 what Steph Curry has done. It is last nine games 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.680 and put up forty nine last night. I think we 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.680 settled on a poll question. Of course, it's not an 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.120 obvious poll question. McLevin. Would you give us the question 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.240 and the results so far? What's the basic sports fact 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.559 that you know least about? How many innings are in 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.560 a baseball game? How many NFL games are there next year? 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.440 How many teams make the NBA playoffs? And what is 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.880 the super League? And what is the super league? Is 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.920 winning the Super League? Continue used to have reverberations over 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.839 the soccer world and really beyond, because if you missed 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.600 the story twelve the world's top teams agreed to form 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:12.280 their own group. It's thrown the European Union into disarray, 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.000 as if the EU hasn't been thrown into disarray before. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.280 People have wondered if the same model could apply to 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.720 other sports, and it's a reminder of how fragile the 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.760 leagues are that we take for granted. There was a 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.360 time in American sports when it wasn't so obvious. The 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.800 NFL had to hold off the AFL, the NBA had 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.560 to hold off the ABA. Baseball's never faced pressure from 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.600 an outside league, but they have major friction between bigger 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.800 and smaller markets. And the most obvious translation of the 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.280 Super League to American sports would be college football, because 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.360 you could easily see the top teams breaking off. And 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.920 it might seem far fetched right now, but I am 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.200 not so sure that a lot of soccer fans saw 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.600 the Super League coming. Change is uncomfortable, feels like it's inevitable, 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.120 especially when it's out of our control. An interesting time 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.760 in soccer, and we'll see if it impacts other sports 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.280 in the future. And you start to think about college football, 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.600 and I've said before, why don't you just form your 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.600 own league? Because the NCAA is not governing college football. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.920 You know, it's the Power five conferences, that are doing that. 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.000 But if you take the top part of these conferences 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.000 and form your own super conference in college football, it 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.600 can happen. And the money is there. You don't share 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.720 the money with other schools in the SEC or the ACC. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.040 But to get to that point where you say we're 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.840 going to take twenty of the best teams, how do 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.880 you decide on twenty of the best teams? Because if 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.200 I look at best teams track record the last ten years, 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.880 or do I look at revenue, because that's different. If 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:58.240 I look at revenue, you're going to have Texas and 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:03.079 Texas A and M revenue. Michigan's going to be in there. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.320 There's gonna be teams, schools that you go, well, they're 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.120 not one of the top twenty teams. But if you 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.600 have revenue and that's what you're trying to generate, then 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.079 you're going to have schools that you probably thought would 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.919 be on the outside looking in actually being in a 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.600 little higher than you think. Yeah, well you need Michigan 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.600 in there for a topat Ohio State scho Wow, No, 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.360 but I was going to I hate to do this, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.440 but can you do a little list of I've already 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.880 written three teams you just said Texas, Texas, A and 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.280 m Michigan off the top of your head. Who are 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:40.840 some of the other obvious ones, Well, Ohio State, Clemson, Alabama, 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.720 There'll be some outliers there. If you just look at 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:48.400 revenue producing football programs, I think you're going to be 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.360 surprised at probably five schools that you would never think 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.160 would be in the top twenty. But if you google that, 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:59.160 like Oregon is close to that, USC, Notre Dame, they 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.040 would be in there as well, certainly Notre Dame. But 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.680 that's what you're looking at. Now. How do you go 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.640 from we're on the outside, how do we get inside 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.400 with the super teams, the super conferences? The top twenty 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.479 in college football? Yeah, poll I had the top fifteen 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:21.200 in revenue twenty twenty for college football Texas, Georgia, Michigan, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.240 Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State is sixth. Then you 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:29.839 go Auburn, Oklahoma, Alabama, Nebraska, LSU. LSU's not till the 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.000 eleventh spot. Yeah, and you got Tennessee, which doesn't do 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.160 a lot on the field, but still makes a lot 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.480 of dough. And that's the tricky part, because these aren't 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.599 the best programs Now, there are great teams in there, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.200 but Tennessee you would never put them in there. But 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.360 if you're producing revenue, like Florida State would probably be 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:54.279 in there, close to being in there. Okay, USC has 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:59.200 not been great in the last decade, but it's still brand. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.039 Michigan has not been great, but it's a brand, And 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.039 I think that's the tricky part with all of this. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.440 Do I think it could happen? I do. The question 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.760 is how how am I differentiating between those who are 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.280 going to be in the top twenty because they produced 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:18.479 the most money and who has earned their way into 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.320 the top twenty because they're actually a great football program. Yeah, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.320 I'm a club, but college football doesn't really have Cinderella's 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.719 who win the title, so you could really you don't 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.839 really need more than the top twenty to term. But 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.440 I don't want Tennessee in there just because they produce 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.400 you more money than other programs, right, But you know, 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.160 you could take a team that has had good years, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.719 they're not going to win the title like um, I 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.000 don't know, All miss for example, or somebody. They're not 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.800 real title contenders. As if you're looking at it from 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.680 a competitive standpoint, well, you had Leicester City, which is 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.479 one of the biggest upsets in the history of sports 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.599 as far as the ability to be able to play 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.600 and win a championship, but they qualified to give them 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.279 a chance with UEFA. Yeah pull, yeah, it's a great example. 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.839 Lesser comes out of nowhere. But in this new model, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.960 by winning the Premier League, they wouldn't be automatically vaulted 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.640 into this super League. You know, there's no it appears 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.080 at this way, no allegation. I guess you could compare 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:15.640 it to the NBA. What if there was a World 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.160 Basketball League that was where all the money was in 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.560 China and Europe and everything that was in place, and 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.919 they decided to take two teams from America and it 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.200 was the Lakers, and because of money, they took the 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.760 Knicks or the Nets, who are Nets have no history, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.960 but they're good now. The Knicks have financial history. And 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.080 those teams would now be playing on this world stage 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:36.800 and when they come back home to play a Wednesday 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.320 night game against Phoenix, they would wrest their stars. And 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.120 that's the fear in the Premier League is that when 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.280 Manchester United goes to play Real Madrid on a Wednesday, 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.359 then on Saturday, when they play a league game and home, 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.320 they're going to wrest their stars because the money League 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.960 is the Wednesday League. Also, here's another topic to keep 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.080 an eye on, the number of American owners who were 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.760 involved in or could be involved in the Super League. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.440 You're going to get pressure from owners who live in 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.440 Europe or live in Italy or live in Spain. The 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.719 American owners aren't going to face that kind of pressure. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:15.120 If you know the Glazers John Henry with Liverpool, you 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.400 know they're not there. And I wonder about that that 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.120 the American owners, you know, how sympathetic are they to 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.440 the soccer fans? And the loyalty is what you want. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.120 If you're a soccer fan, You're like, where's the loyalty here? Yeah? See. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.840 And it's interesting because if you look at a list 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.920 of the most valuable soccer teams in the world, the 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.880 guess which the top fifteen are from the Premier League 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.559 Super League? No oh, no, it's not from the Premier 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.360 League only it's it's Barcelona, Real, Madrid, Bayern Munich who 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.400 are expected to join it right, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:56.400 Chelsea Arsenal PSG who's expected to join it. Tottenham, ve A, 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:01.239 Burtish Adortman, who's expected, Athletico Madrid, Intermo and then Everton 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.720 is the fifteen. I mean that's that's almost that's basically 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.920 every team minus Acy Milan. So this is just money, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.880 what's all this is? Yeah, I'm glove. I think Stan 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.200 Cronkie is one of those the guy who's screwed over 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:18.240 Saint Louis. He doesn't care about fans in America, let alone. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.960 We'll talk to Rebecca Lowe on loan from NBC Sports 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.160 Chief of course, the host of the Premier League on 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.760 NBC Sports. She'll join us coming up Age seven seven 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.000 three d P show email address DP a Dan Patrick 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.320 dot com Twitter handle at dp's show. By the way, 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:38.080 on Peacock, it's a three part Peacock original series, Michael Phelps, Medals, 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.240 Memories and more.

Alex Smith announced his 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.600 retirement at the age of thirty six, and it's not 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.679 a surprise. And you know, I always thought that he 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.200 could have rejoined Urban Meyer on the Jacksonville team and 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.480 been a backup and been sort of a mentor to 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.760 Trevor Lawrence. I guess that he did consider that if 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.360 he was going to play football again this year, he 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.000 was going to join Jacksonville and do exactly that. But 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.360 I think he probably looked around and said, I made 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.600 it through fourteen years. I made it through these surgeries. 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.880 I was with the Niners, the Chiefs Washington. He made 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.480 six starts last season. Had one of the worst leg 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.520 injuries in the history of the sport, and that's saying 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.600 a whole lot. Had a bad infection so bad it 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:35.079 required seventeen follow up surgeries, and everybody assumed his playing 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.959 days were over then. But he worked his way back, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.600 was able to play, but ultimately decided that the risk 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.800 wasn't worth it at age thirty six, he has young children. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.720 It's easy to understand considering where he came from with 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.240 this injury. There was a point where Smith thought he 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.079 might lose his leg. We tend to judge players on 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.200 pretty narrow parameters. For Smith, his play and his comeback 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.760 or intertwined and add up to a notable NFL legacy, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.319 but retiring at the age of thirty six. We spend 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.920 a little time talking about the draft, and it's information, 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.839 but it's a lot of misinformation, and some of it 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.360 is guided by teams that they want you to think 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.680 a certain way. They'll give information to a reporter, whether 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.760 reporter knows it or not. And I've been used before, 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.960 but you know local reporters, somebody says something, then all 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.000 of a sudden you start to run with it, you know, 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.839 Dallas and Steven Jones, Jerry's son saying, hey, get a 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.640 lot of calls for the tenth pick. Okay, I'm sure 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.520 the Falcons are getting a lot of calls for the 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:46.160 fourth pick, but they haven't announced that. Now the Bengals 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.480 at five, I'm sure they're getting calls for that as well. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.440 It feels like if you announce it, either you don't 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.240 get calls or you would like to get some calls. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.160 That's the feeling I have. But this is what's going 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.240 to happen now. For the next seven, eight, nine days. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.400 You're going to get a lot of information, and a 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.960 lot of it is going to be misinformation. Who wants what, when? 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.480 How going up? Moving down? And we're going to look 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.800 back on this draft as we do every draft, and 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:23.720 we're gonna go what was that team thinking? The Packers 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:29.240 with Jordan Love, what were they thinking? Because they weren't thinking, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:34.120 not correctly in my opinion. And you know, then you 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.120 had this, well, they motivated Aaron Rodgers, All right, well, 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.800 then take another quarterback this year, like you want to 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.960 get him motivated again, take another quarterback like that's silly. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.920 Aaron Rodgers has a chip on his shoulder. He's had 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.679 that since he stepped into the league. It's not like, hey, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.480 I won the MVP, I'm engaged, I'm happier than ever 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.640 I might host Jeopardy. I'm going to remove the chip 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:06.080 on my shoulder. It just doesn't happen that way. Tom 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.880 Brady is not removing the chip on his shoulder. And 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.280 you would think after a while, you'd go, come on, tell, 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.320 let's let's stop with that. You know that the chip 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.800 on the shoulder thing. I mean, let's go, let's let's 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:23.760 lose it. But the Packers took Jordan Love. And the 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.880 only way that you solve this riddle is either you 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:31.280 trade Jordan Love or you let Aaron Rodgers go after 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:36.600 this season. And it feels like at least what I 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:41.200 was told, and this was probably six weeks ago. Five 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.000 weeks ago, I said it on the show that a 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.920 source said they would be shocked if Aaron Rodgers was 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.640 there next season and then you had all of this 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.520 fall out there, and now you know what's going on. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.600 Why didn't they renegotiate his contracts so they could have 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.360 signed other player? Like there's there's a lot of drama 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.520 going on behind the scenes. Remember Russell Wilson, Oh, he's 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.560 gonna be traded. He it's inevitable. No, he's going to 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.440 the Bears. He's not good. That's right, He's not going anywhere. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.160 There are times when you just want to get somebody's 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.160 attention and you want to shake it up, and that's 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.840 what happened with Russell Wilson. He just wanted to let 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.720 his girlfriend know, Hey, I can leave you. I'm not happy. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.520 I need some attention here. And then all of a sudden, 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.319 Seattle's like, hey, we're gonna bring in some linemen and 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.120 some skill position player. We're gonna keep some of those 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:39.199 players that we're gonna resign them. We want you back. Russ. Well, 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.480 that went away. Remember how big that was. Well, Aaron 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:48.119 Rodgers is there and it stayed there and it didn't disappear. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.959 I think we covered it over a little bit. I 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.400 think it was like you know, let's throw a couple 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.560 of blankets on here, and then you realize you take 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.640 the blankets back, it's still there. And I think it's 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.280 going to be there, and I think that that's something 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:08.319 to keep an eye on. So we'll stay with that 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.760 pole question. Is that right? McLevin? Yeah, you know there 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.960 was a bate debate. There were several debates we weren't 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.400 part of last week, which really annoyed me. There was 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:16.880 one I just wanted to ask you about it. I'm 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.960 throwing it out of nowhere, but there was a tweet 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.640 from Jeremy Shaps saying you shouldn't take a quarterback because 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:27.320 most of them miss in the draft. But most of 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.640 every position miss in the draft. Where we're talking about 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.640 you just mentioned that, like you're gonna look back on 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.680 teams missing, Like there's just no what's a safe position 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.280 to draft anymore? Quarterbacks? It's kind of like it's a crapshoot. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.440 In the top ten wide receivers are crapshoot. Who's not 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.680 a crapshoot? Everyone is? Well. I think that if you 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.320 have a lineman and he doesn't work out of a position, 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.760 I can hide him a little bit, and I can 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.080 also create a system where the other lineman might be 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.320 able to hide his inequities, and Joe Thomas said that, 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.480 you know the Cleveland Brown's future Hall of Famer. Jeremy 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.560 Shapp of The Mother's Ship tweeted to reiterate forty four 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.600 quarterbacks have gone first, second, or third overall in the 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:13.240 last fifty NFL drafts. Exactly two Aikman and Peyton have 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.800 won Super Bowls starting for the teams that drafted them. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:25.800 That makes selecting quarterbacks up high exceptionally risky. Okay, but 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.120 you can take a risk now and it doesn't crush 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.240 you financially, because it used to be when you took 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:37.120 a quarterback first or second Sam Bradford days JaMarcus Russell, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.200 you know it was going to bankrupt you for a 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.160 couple of years. Now it feels like that's a financial 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.920 benefit because the Jets are going to happen. They had 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:53.320 a perfectly serviceable quarterback in Sam Darnold, and maybe they 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.280 could build around him. But now you take Zach Wilson 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.240 out of BYU and you hit the reset button when 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.520 it comes to his salary and what you can do 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.200 with that salary with a rookie quarterback contract. Yeah, McLevin. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.440 But it's a funny we talk about the quarterbacks every position, 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.080 like we it's a redraft to twenty seventeen, Like the 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.480 Bengals took John Ross at number nine. The fact that 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.240 he's not a quarterback, they get a pass on it. 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.160 But if they take it a quarterback there and he failed, 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.240 we talked about it for a decade. Yes, yeah, there 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.960 are guys who are bus, but we don't refer to 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.320 them as bus. It's interesting how we pick and choose 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.840 and say, oh, what were they thinking? That's a terrible 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.000 draft pick. I mean, these all of these sports are 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:38.000 littered with bad draft picks, right, Like you just go, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.560 what are you thinking? And that's what I want to know. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.600 That's the meeting I would love to be in. The 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.360 reality show would be after the draft and you've spent 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.280 a couple of years with a player and you bring 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:54.760 in that scout and you say, what were you thinking? Crazy? Yeah, Paul, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.920 You look at the Tennessee Titans last year. They took 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.440 Isaiah Wilson, the offensive tech law to Georgia. He's out 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.840 of football. Yeah, imagine if a quarterback was out of 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.080 football in a calendar year yeah. I mean even Manzel 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.200 made it to year two. Yeah, nofense. Well he was 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.200 a quarterback. That's why he made it the year two. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.760 Like they didn't want to admit that they made a mistake. Yeah, 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.000 I'm the club. We still talk about Christian Ponder that 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.159 draft miss. I think it was the twelfth pick by 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.520 the Vikings at eight years later, I hear his name 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.280 all the time in draft coverage. Yeah, but it wasn't 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.200 his fault that he got taken up there. He wasn't. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.399 He wasn't good enough to be taken up there. Right, 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.199 But they're probably if you look at the last ten, 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.520 number twelve picks, probably eight of them were bust. But 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.920 we only be is there a quarterback? Like now, I 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.760 know that I know, but the sport is predicated on 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:47.120 having a great quarterback. You're all, everybody's looking for a quarterback, 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:51.080 everyone and so when you find it, no matter where 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.480 you find it, then you tell people, you trumpet that 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:58.280 the Cowboys weren't taking Dak Prescott, they were taking Connor 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:03.159 Cook out of Michigan State. And then the Raiders saved 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.440 the day and came in and took Connor Cook. And 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.240 Cowboys aren't geniuses, they were like, we want Connor Cook, 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:13.160 he's not there, all right, Well we'll take das Dak Prescott. 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.600 He's a leader. Yes. I wish there was a way 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:20.159 to figure out which quarterbacks were busts and which teams 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.000 busted their quarterback, you know, because like there has to 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.119 be some kind of metric or stat that, like, no, 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.800 Sam Donald is actually awesome. It's the Jets who suck. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.879 They're the bust so bust or busted right bust or 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:37.399 where they busted? Bust or busted? Yes, David Carr, I 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.320 guess would you immediately come to mind as one of 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.200 them he got busted? Yes, the Texans busted him, yes, 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.879 mc so well, Sam Darnold and Caroline wad be a 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.240 referendum on that. It's a great experiment for who was 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.880 at him or the team. So it's like Ryan Tannehill 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.600 with the Dolphins and then going to the Titans. Yeah 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.720 what taman Hill's a weird case though, is he really that? 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.320 It's it's so hard to tell. All he does his 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.119 head it off to Derrick Henry, right, he either has 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.160 to turn to the left or the right and hand 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.760 it to the bulldozer. Well, you got to remember to 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.600 turn to the laughter, turn to the right. True, yes, hunting, 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.160 it's a very valid point. Thank you. Not as easy 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.760 as you think. Uh, Skip in Texas. Then we'll take 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:24.720 a break, high, Skip. What's on your mind today? Hey Skip? Yeah, 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.840 I just wanted to call about mclovin. Only he could 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.040 find a way to diminish what is Steph Curry's doing. 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.280 The guy is just unbelievable. Over the last two weeks. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.240 You gave the stat about twenty one ten point games 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.080 and the next best is five and Lillard and hard 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.639 to have three. So it's not the defenses. And if 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.640 mclovin is trying to just make every fan base Matt 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:53.199 at him, he's doing well and I think we need 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.800 to rename him. Mc haydon Oh okay, then well, thank you, 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:00.880 Skip mcayton. You are a buzz kill though, m loving. Oh, 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.960 I know I've been on a real role. I know. 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.440 Why why are you skewing negative? I think it's being 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.200 a Philadelphia fan and all our teams are not winning. 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.159 I mean they're winning, but you know they're act. I 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.240 think that's the Philadelphia in me coming out. You admit 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.520 Philadelphia fans are a cidical group. Oh, that's a tough group. 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.280 But I don't know how you can embrace what Steph 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.560 Curry is. I love Steph Curry, but I am a 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:23.720 system guy and I have to I have to stick 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.960 to my system guns at all costs. What other person 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:32.000 in a system is doing what Steph Curry's done, Dame Lillard, 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.840 I've thrown darts here, Trey Young, Okay, here you go. 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.560 Steph Curry has more games with forty points and ten 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.680 three pointers in the last eight days. In the last 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.480 eight days than any other NBA player has in their 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:56.520 entire career. Steph Curry has four in the last five games, 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.760 six this season, seventeen overall. Next on the list is 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:07.760 James Harden, Damian Lillard, Clay Thompson. Stat of your day, 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:13.360 stat of the day? What are you doing? But does 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.359 he play any defense? Dan? I want to know that. 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.760 That's what I was waiting for. That's what I was 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.239 waiting for. Yeah, but does he play deep? Remember when 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.159 he was coming in off Davidson, It's like, Oh, can 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.880 he be a point guard? Does he play any defense? 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:30.640 He's gonna get beat up. Nobody says that stuff anymore. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:35.960 Last time I look, Luca dunchit doesn't play any defense either. 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.960 Larry Bird didn't play any defense, like silly when you 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:46.000 get that two way player. Hey, that's rare, but nobody 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.160 says Steph Curry. He can't play defense. Okay, he can't. 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:52.359 Can you play defense on him? Let me take a break, 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:56.440 we'll talk super League, the future of the sport. Rebecca 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:59.000 Lowe will join us.
